Adding a Gameobject to an array makes all elements of that array equal to the object
I'm trying to make a 2d array, then start a loop where i create a tile and store that tile into my array, then start a new loop for debugging purposes which takes a tile based on its position in the array and checks in has the correct information (x and y position). however, upon debugging, it appears that all the tiles in that array now have the same x and y position as the very last one.
Here is my code:
public GameObject emptySpace;
GameObject[,] board;
public void makeBoard (int x, int y){
board = new GameObject[x, y];
for (int i = 0; i < x; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < y; j++) {
GameObject s = emptySpace as GameObject;
OccupiableSpace o = s.GetComponent<OccupiableSpace> ();
o.xPos = i;
o.yPos = j;
Instantiate (s, new Vector2 (i, j), Quaternion.identity);
int id = i * y + j;
print ("x is " + i + " , y is " + j + " ,space number " + id + " has been created");
board [i, j] = s;
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < x; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < y; j++) {
GameObject s = board [i, j];
OccupiableSpace o = s.GetComponent<OccupiableSpace> ();
int id = o.xPos * y + o.yPos;
//if (o.xPos == i && o.yPos == j) {
print ("x is " + o.xPos + " , y is " + o.yPos + " ,space number " + id + " has been located");
//}
}
}
}
void Awake (){
makeBoard (3, 4);
}
here is the console:
In line 12 you clone s which creates a new GameObject but doesn't change the value of s. Instead, it returns the newly created object. Since you only ever use s afterwards, not the clone, you perform all operations on the same GameObject.
Replace line 12 with
s = Instantiate (s, new Vector2 (i, j), Quaternion.identity);
$$anonymous$$any thanks, i knew it was something dumb like that :)
